Life Without Michael: One Year On

Heidi and Rose present Heidi O’Loughlin in

Life Without Michael: One Year On

Michael Jackson Party Hits The Nz International Comedy Festival
Heidi is a twenty-something still living at home who has dedicated the better part of her life to being a devoted Michael Jackson fan. Still devastated by the death of her hero, almost one year on she is hosting a party or extended wake – and you’re all invited!

Prepare to laugh, cry, and feel a little sick as one of the hottest young comedy talents, Heidi O’Loughlin, cranks up the cassette player and butters the fairy bread for what is sure to be the wildest party of the century!

Heidi performed her first comedy set at the age of fifteen as part of the Class Comedians programme in the 2004 NZ International Comedy Festival, and performs regularly at The Classic Comedy and Bar. In 2008 she won ‘Spirit of the Festival’ at the NZ International Comedy Festival Awards and the ‘Green Room Award’ at the NZ Comedy Guild Awards. She is a student at the University of Auckland and was a founder and executive of the university’s comedy society, and co-editor of the comedy section in Craccum magazine.

Heidi is also the slightly shorter half of the hit comedy duo ‘Heidi and Rose’ who stormed the festival last year with their debut show A Guide to the Uncool (nominated ‘Best Newcomer’ 2009 NZ International Comedy Festival and ‘Best Show Concept’ 2009 NZ Comedy Guild Awards). Rose Matafeo, Heidi’s vertically superior friend, is remaining close-by and will be directing Life Without Michael for what will surely be an afternoon of hilarity!

“Heidi and Rose were on fire. There’s a reason why these two wunderkinds have been the talk of the town during the festival... Entirely unpretentious, delivered with hot shazam by two chicks with moxy.” – Coup de Main Magazine
“quirky, twee and superbly hilarious” – Lumière Reader
So if there’s a place in your heart and you know that it is love, then the answer is pretty Black or White: This is the event for you. 3 shows only! ...Will You Be There?
